Lot's of women think that men suck. In truth, a lot of us do. But we usually only suck because women try to remain as oblivious as possible to every possible sign that men give that we're really getting tired of them. But there are signs. Oh John the Rabbit (oh yes), there are signs.
1. He starts suddenly getting "busy"
The main thing every relationship needs is time to flourish. When men are in love with you, we spend time with you. Once we don't feel like spending time, we generally don't even want to see you naked. You should still see if that works though. Strip to your hearts content and be free like the wind.
2. He doesn't care where you're going
Men are jealous beings by nature - possibly a little controlling. When your dude doesn't even inquire where you're going or care where you've been, that's because mentally he's gone to his happy place where women run around in lingerie and sunglasses. And no, you're not there.
3. He stops doing things that he knows you really like
Say you love it when he wears a certain cologne. Say you tell him how much you love it. Say you, say me. Say it together, that's the way it should be. Well if all of a sudden his cologne of choice is Irish Spring (the blue bar, not the green one) and he refuses to acknowledge a change, well he's not really checkin' for you, boo.
4. All of your dates are movie dates
Every night shouldn't be aBlockbuster Netflix night when you're a real couple. Sometimes you go feed ducks and laugh at puppies in pet stores. Couples do cutesy things. Indoor movie nights? That's the date you pull on a chick you really just want to see naked...or not at all.
5. He finds little reasons to argue
Best way to tank a relationship is to always be pissy and unhappy. If he's constantly picking a fight with you, trust me, it's because he wants you to leave faster than Rush Limbaugh at an Obama fundraiser.
6. He quits trying to make you smile
Us fellows are a simple breed. Much like strippers work for tips and prostitutes work for esteem, men work for your smile. At the point where he enjoys your smile as much as he enjoys washing dishes, well, stick a fork in your relationship, toots, it's over like a reality show featuring the Heene family.

Bravo, Panama. Any post that encourages nudity and quotes Lionel Richie is a win in my book.
I totally agree and I can honestly say that men don't get the clues either even when we throw it in their face.
Soooo, what if my boyfriend of 3 years has never really shown much interest in making me smile or cared where I am going or done things just because I like them?
well my ex didn't do any of those things.
things were still perfect up until the last time i saw him.
what does that mean?
I think that means that maybe you didn't 'want' to see the signs. There are always signs.
Denial is just not a river.
